TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Subject:RE: Having a killer resume From:Archimede Ziviello <archimede -dot- ziviello -at- cannondale -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 1 Oct 2002 13:07:48 -0400
>> Do other lists that are subscribed to by technical professionals contain
this much dialog about the format and content of a resume? I belong to a
couple, moderated and not, and NEVER see this kind of long thread on a dead
horse.
Couple = two. And, if one is moderated and one is not, that makes the
predicting how other lists function a 50/50 chance.
>>While it is no doubt interesting, nothing I have read on this thread (or
the dozen or so similar threads in the last year) have contained anything
particularly germaine to the field of technical writing.
Really?
>>Yes, we are technical communicators, but resume writing is not technical
communication. That statement can be debated for a long time, too, I am
sure.
We?
>>Is it about time we defer this topic to some other resource such as a
resume writing mailing list and get back to the bidness of tech writing.
Is this a rhetorical question?
>>Sorry if I am being a curmudgeon, but enough is really enough. Yes, I know
where my delete key is, but I am starting to wear it out.
Pad it.
